Dressing up for Halloween is great fun. Halloween is
a festival of horror and fright and accordingly you should do your make
up. You should dress up in most ugly and frightful manner possible. Your
appearance should create a feeling of revulsion and terror in others.
Here are a few tips to help you do your make up according to the theme
of the festival.
Bruises: You need three eye shadows-deep blue, charcoal and
shimmery green, and a make up brush. Using a blot of deep blue powder
eye shadow, apply with a wet make up brush. Use your fingertips to add
blots of charcoal gray and blue shadows. Touch up the edges with a
shimmery olive green. Smudge the bruise.
Blood: Combine red food color and corn syrup. After dripping the
blood where you want it to be, don't let the edges of the blood smear.
Give the mock blood plenty of time to dry.
Siamese Twins: Get a really BIG sweatshirt and join with your
friend in it.
Witch: Cover the face in green or white powder makeup. With a
black makeup stick, draw lines in a "V" in the middle of the
forehead and create some lines around the mouth. Draw lines on the hands
with an eyeliner pen; almost follow the veins to make the hands look
old. Tease and spray hair with a super stick hairspray. Place in a few
plastic bugs.
Wrinkles/Looking Old: Cover the skin in a lighter than normal
color using baby powder or white blemish cover stick. Then draw the dark
lines and slightly blend them to the surrounding area with your finger.
Then add baby powder to give the skin that old, dry look.
Facial Hairs: Use the hair from an old stuffed toy or hairbrush
and attach with double stick tape or fake eyelash adhesive.
